Mauritius 10 cents Republic Coinage Queen Elizabeth PR66 PCGS CuNi coin 1971

This 1971 Mauritius 10 Cents copper-nickel coin is a distinctive Proof issue from the nation’s early post-independence coinage, certified by PCGS as PR66 DCAM. Its unusual scalloped edge gives the piece an immediately recognizable appearance. The obverse displays a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, with carefully modeled hair and royal attire, encircled by her title. The reverse is dominated by the large numeral 10, surrounded by MAURITIUS, TEN CENTS and the date 1971, with a small decorative separator completing the clean design. Mauritius achieved independence in 1968 and retained Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, making this issue representative of an important transitional chapter in the country’s numismatic history. The Deep Cameo Proof finish creates strong contrast between frosted relief and reflective fields, while PCGS PR66 DCAM certification adds further appeal for collectors of Mauritius, Commonwealth and Elizabeth II coinage.
